Akuma's New Raging Demon Explained in Street Fighter 6

  • Akuma’s Raging Demon returns in Street Fighter 6 with a new level of detail and storytelling. This iconic move, also known as the Shun Goku Satsu, has been a staple in the series, but in Street Fighter 6, we get to see what happens behind the scenes in a cinematic cutscene.
    In this video, we dive deep into the symbolism and meaning behind Akuma’s new Super. The move begins with the familiar "Die a 1000 deaths," referencing the afterimages of Akuma's strikes, a feature introduced in Street Fighter 4 and continued through Street Fighter V. However, Street Fighter 6 adds three more lines of dialogue, each with its own significance.
    The second line, "Usurp the Heavens," represents the kanji for "Heaven" that appears on Akuma's back, symbolizing his transcendence and achievement of immortality. The third line, "Embrace the Sorrow," alludes to the Satsui no Hado, a dark energy Akuma has embraced to enhance his fighting abilities.
    The fourth line, "Become the Demon," needs no explanation, as it signifies Akuma fully embracing his demonic nature. These lines are accompanied by classical kanji compounds, giving the move an ancient, godlike quality.
    The kanji used in Akuma's Super are arranged in the form of yojijukugo, Japanese idioms that convey ideas or stories in a concise manner. These idioms, originating from China, add depth to Akuma's character and the move itself.
    We also explore the origins of these idioms, which can be traced back to obscure manga panels predating Street Fighter: Ryu Final, indicating Capcom's attention to detail and commitment to the series' lore.
    Join us as we unravel the mysteries of Akuma's new Raging Demon in Street Fighter 6, and share your thoughts on whether this new rendition enhances or diminishes the move's mystique.

    Let me give you the meanings of the idiom as an asian guy.
    1. 1000 strikes means die horribly.
    2. Pulling mountains means to have incredible strength/destructive power. It also means he has dedicated himself to achieve such power. He has no time to do anything else.
    3. Sounds of ghouls crying means a lot people have died in his hands. Gouki hears the dead crying for vengeance.
    4. Demon I am. Sounds simple right? Nope. What Gouki is saying is that he has gone against heaven’s will and chooses to fight against his fate. He has forsaken he dao/tao. He is against heaven and has become a demon.
    Edit: in asian culture, throwing away your humanity is one of the greatest sins. You cannot reincarnate. Gouki’s kanji in his back doesn’t say “heaven” the first stroke is not straight. His kanji with the slanted stroke means destruction. “天” means heaven. “夭” = destruction/calamity .

      As I am also an Asian. Also, I used to study old Chinese literature. It doesn’t mean that. When using 蓋世, it means very good. 蓋世豪傑 means a great man. 武功蓋世means great kung-fu, etc. 啾啾 it is just the wind noise. Old Chinese literature always use words to describe the sounds. 故豪鬼成, it is more like to mean, 故此,”therefore”, 鬼 means him(豪鬼),成means “become” or “achieve”.

      Hate to disagree on the kanji either meaning "Calamity" or "Heaven" but according to the Japanese Wikipedia page for Akuma/Gouki (and I do mean Japanese as I selected that language for it) it links to a mention that in the SF X Tekken artbook that the kanji was added by the staff after the initial design for Akuma/Gouki was done back in the day. In fact on the entire Wikipedia page for Akuma/Gouki in Japanese no instance of the kanji for "Calamity/夭" appears at any time.

    Fun fact: Akuma's kanji on his back is not the Heaven kanji (天) it's actually this kanji (夭) which means "devastation" or "premature death" but i think the people at Capcom decided to make that misunderstanding a part of his character later with him wanting to be beyond the Heavens with his destructive force.

    The kanji “拔山蓋世” comes from the poem allegedly written by Xiang Yu himself during his last and final defeat. The poem says “力拔山兮,氣蓋世”. The kanji “鬼哭啾啾” comes from two poems during Chinese Tang Dynasty. One written by Du Fu, it says “新鬼煩冤舊鬼哭,天陰雨濕聲啾啾” and one by Wang Han, it says “黃昏塞北無人煙,鬼哭啾啾聲沸天”

    The Chinese comic is by an artist named "Xu Jingchen". He did multiple Hong Kong Street Fighter comics back in the 90's. His first works were unlicensed by Capcom and I'm not sure if they did acquire one by the time SFIII released. There were numerous art panels that were featured in that comic that were copied from the Nakahira manga. The one featured in this video is a direct copy from the Ryu Final manga and is not the original.

    In Capcom vs SNK 2, Shin Akuma's raging demon I think is also the first complete demon rage we see.
    As if all the other versions where he just grabs them and does 15 (initially) hits was Demon Rage Lite. Then we see the full move in Cap vs SNK2 with Shin Akuma, its just over 30 hits, and it has a slower start up at the beginning of it. It almost aligns with what they did in both SFV and SF6, that being, he first hits the opponent several times from the shadows "ramping up" the attacks, and then goes full bezerk and unleashes the "1000 deaths"
    Visually I would say this is so awesome and such a call back. Even SFV in this case seems to be aligned precisely with this evolution and call back.
    Looking at the visual evolution of the demon rages, I would say this is the order.
    1) All the Demon Rages from normal Akuma in SF4 and before are his normal Demon Rage.
    A quick instant 15hit or more flash of hits.
    2) The second evolution to this and look we get at it in its more complete form is Capcom vs SNK 2.
    Grabs the opponent and there are several slower hits at the start that ramp up into the demon rage.
    3) In SFV we see those hits mildly in the shadows as Akuma "dances" in the shadows before it becomes too fast and fades out to black with the complete demon rage.
    4) Now in SF6, we see it completely. His shadows are attacking the enemy, as this happens Akuma primes for the 1000 deaths attack and we see at last in complete form the Demon Rage in all its glory.
    I also love how they kept this evolution in the move and his power. He starts from normal.
    In SF4 it seems more powerful.
    In SFV is the first Normal Akuma, outside of Shin Akuma in CvSNK2, that begins to portray a more complete rendition of the move, as if he is slowly moving towards the Shin Akuma state more and more, along with his first more feral look.
    And in SF6, this journey seems complete.
    After this point honestly I think the next step would be to just make him Shin Akuma. Which, again it could simply be normal Akuma, since Shin Akuma indicates he is not on that level yet, is a what if in some cases, or a state he might be able to access? Perhaps. So if this becomes his normal state, I assume it will still just be Akuma at that point.
    Such an awesome and interesting find with your video. Thank you for this :)

    I know it will never happen, but I think it would be dope, to have Gouken as a DLC character and give him a similar button sequence, to activate while Shun Goku Satsu animation is happening and if timed correctly allows him to empty his soul and emotions to survive and counter the move, putting him in a "empty state" OD state. That animation sequence would be sick.

When it comes to the Ansatsuken Users I always considered Ryu: Final cannon. So having a direct reference in a game like this makes me excited to use Akuma in SF6, I use Ken and the reason why I’ve been using him for so long is because of his depiction in Ryu:Final as well. The Ryu final manga is worth a read! It’s one of my favorites

    personally i prefer the idea of akuma just going fast asf or teleporting around the enemy like in sf5 cuz that's way cooler than just summoning a bunch of random clones in an alternate dimension for some reason
    HOWEVER it could be that what we see as the super is what the victim sees, being that the raging demon destroys not just body but soul via the sins one has committed- the different dimension and the extra akumas could be explained as it just being a vision/representation of the raging demon, while them getting pummeled to kingdom come (by a singular akuma this time) is in the physical world

    Hi, I first just wanna say, I appreciate the video and glad someone looked into this as well. I didn't know about the history of why they went with these phrases.
    Secondly, I translate 1000 year old Japanese folktales and I wrote a whole kanji by kanji breakdown of these phrases a couple of weeks ago that I'll just copy and paste here for anyone interested in a bit more of a detailed analysis
    So, the first set of kanji.
    一瞬千撃 isshun sengeki
    一 one; ichi
    瞬 instant; shun
    千 thousand; sen
    撃 strike/attack; geki
    Pretty straightforward; one instant 1000 strikes.
    The second
    抜山蓋世 batsuzan gaisei
    抜 pull out i.e. a sword, hair etc; batsu
    山 mountain; san/zan
    蓋 lid/cover over/contain; gai
    世 worl; sei
    Pull out mountains, cover over the world.
    This one requires a little more explanation. My dictionary says “Herculean strength” but more literally it means being so powerful that you can uproot mountains and “cover over” the world, e.g. containing/controlling the world. Essentially, Akuma is claiming that he has achieved a power that can dominate the world.
    The third
    鬼哭啾啾 kikoku shushu
    鬼 demon; ki
    哭 weep; koku
    啾 wail; shu
    Demons weep and wail.
    This one you can mostly understand at a glance but to fully appreciate it it requires some explanation. The last kanji is repeated to emphasize the fact that the demons are wailing like mad. Specifically what I picked up is that it’s supposed to be the wailing of those who died violently and tragically, the “spine chilling” (is what my dictionary says) screams of the damned.
    The fourth and final
    故豪鬼成 I had a hard time hearing how he actually pronounced this but I believe it was; yue Goki nari,
    故 therefore/thus/such; yue
    豪 powerful/terrible/grand; go
    鬼 demon; ki
    成 to be/to become; nari
    Thus, I am/have become Goki or I am/have become a/the great demon. This one also deserves some explanation. I’m sure some of you know that Akuma’s Japanese name is Goki/Gouki, which is a combination of the kanji for powerful/grand/terrible and demon. So here he’s either explaining why his name is Gouki or just straight up claiming to be a Gouki or even THE Gouki. Given the nature of Japanese and Chinese (because the first three sets of kanji are basically Chinese just with Japanese pronunciation while this one and the ending refrain are Japanese), and given Akuma’s mad confidence and belief in his supremacy, it’s safe to think that he’s claiming to be not just a powerful demon, but THE powerful demon.
    And then he goes into the 我、拳を極めし者 “I am he who hath mastered the fist” which is neither Chinese nor a yojijukugo but just a sentence in very old, Classical Japanese.
    So basically, to reiterate what our boy said, the creators put some detail into this super and it's absolutely awe inspiring.
    Hope that helps.

      @user-dz7tg1vt9t 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      He's not cloning himself, that's the whole point. It's a more "dramatic" depiction of just how fast he moves and how heavy he throws. It's similar to how you see multiple fists in the Ryu Final manga panel when he initiates the Shungokusatsu, but the point of actually showing afterimages throwing attacks means that each of those punches and kicks carries the weight (and force) of his whole being. Not haymakers, but full-powered strikes targeting the receiver's vital points with the sole intent to kill.

      @user-dz7tg1vt9t 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@stancedstyfon1234 for me actually, I think the best representation of the Shungokusatsu is the SFV version. You don't actually see how he moves, and all you see is a glimpse of what happens, briefly illuminated by the hadou-infused strikes as they hit the opponent's vital points. The only way you can see how demonically fast he becomes is by following the red trails left by his eyes. It starts with a handful of very hard impacts, then gradually picks up speed until he becomes so fast, the red trails just scribble across the darkness. Compared to that, this version is definitely the second best in my opinion. It's very "anime," with a very hyperbolic depiction of the demonic speed.
      Honestly, I'm pretty glad that they began unraveling the mystery back in SFV, because I'm really peeved by other people's takes on what really happens during the move. Localization definitely bastardized not only the whole point of the Shungokusatsu, but of Gouki himself with all the "evil" and the "weight of one's sins" bullshit. Why complicate something so simple? It doesn't really take much to figure out that all he does is punch and kick you at godly speed. Plus, aside from being an homage, the verses are supposed to put into words how powerful Gouki is becoming. I'd rather see the literal translation of what he actually says than change the message into something that gives the character zero justice.
      Sorry about ranting haha
